Benny Medina is the man of smooth jazz, a legendary music producer of this century and, back in his day, a vocalist with the late 1970s disco group Apollo. The man was Jennifer Lopez’s previous manager, and his mentor was the legendary Berry Gordy, another music industry giant.

He is best known for his music, although he has also acted in a number of television series and is a film producer.

Progression and Career

In 1979, he formed the Apollo band, which released their self-titled debut on Gordy’s Motown label. Medina was the principal vocalist in their band, and he wrote three well-known songs for them. He rose quickly through the ranks of Motown’s A&R department, working as a protégé of Berry Gordy, who mentored him at the time. He also created and produced music for artists such as Billy Preston, Teena Marie, and others.

He proceeded to Warner Bros Records, where he worked with a number of well-known artists including as Chaka Khan, Ray Charles, Babyface, and Prince. Following his departure from Warner Bros. Records, he and a few of his colleagues founded Medina/Pollack Entertainment, a full-service management and production firm. He is now most known for managing Jennifer Lopez, an actress, singer, and dancer, as well as Sony Music’s Tommy Mottola.

Benny Medina’s net worth is unknown.

Benny Medina’s net worth stems from his work as a manager for some of the music industry’s most well-known artists. He also owns Medina Company, which he founded. Benny Medina began singing in the 1970s as a co-songwriter and main singer for the R&B/Disco group Apollo, as well as being the son of famed jazz drummer Ahmad ‘Benny’ Medina. With a net worth of $20 million, he is constantly extending his position in every growing field and is said to be improving over time.

Was he gay when he was younger?

He is not only the best in must, but also in hiding his personal life, as he has done for himself throughout his career. He is not married, and no one has claimed to be his wife, nor have there been any records of his having a girlfriend in the past. Benny is never seen on the red carpet with anyone unless he is the celebrity’s manager, such as Jenifer Lopez.

However, throughout the filming of Fresh Prince with Will Smith as a young lad, there were suspicions that he was gay. He was fired as a result of his inappropriate behavior and sexual overtures toward another cast member. As a result, he could be gay, but no more examinations into his sexuality were conducted.

Rape Suspected

Benny Medina was accused of rape by actor Jason Dottley in November 2017 after the two met in Los Angeles in 2008. Jason told Advocate about the incident and claimed that it happened at Benny’s house. According to him, he and Mozelle went to Benny’s house, where they undressed and first went to the pool, then to the bedroom.

Benny grabbed Jason’s chest and threw him over the bed, sticking his tongue into his throat, according to Jason. Mozelle also admitted that when he walked out of the water that day, he spotted Benny on top of Jason.

According to Advocate, Benny’s scandal corroborated the story with multiple Jason’s buddies. Renee Bailey, Jason’s representative, revealed that Benny had been on Jason’s no-work list for a long time, citing his rape attempts.

Benny and his lawyers, on the other hand, refuted the charges.
